| Popis: | High intakes of pasture non-structural carbohydrates (pNSC) can cause digestive and metabolic disturbances. This study aimed to investigate the influence of seasonal patterns of pNSC content on grazing horses. Twelve sporthorse mares (15 ± 3.4 yrs) were maintained together on 8.5-ha mixed-grass pasture (free-choice mineral supplementation) for 12 mo beginning October 2016. Horses were grouped according to their baseline cresty neck score (CNS); CNS≥2.5 (C; n=5) or CNS |
